About this Event
The not-for-profit sector plays a vital role in the social and economic fabric of Suffolk. In recognition of this, the University of Suffolk is hosting a focused breakfast event for CEOs and senior leaders of Suffolk-based charitable organisations. We will explore how meaningful collaboration with the University can support the sectorβs resilience, innovation, and long-term sustainability.
Participants will gain insights into current partnership opportunities, including knowledge exchange initiatives, student engagement through internships and placements, and support for workforce development. The event will also feature a keynote from an experienced sector leader, practical examples of collaboration in action, and time for peer networking.
This is an opportunity to connect, reflect, and explore how the University of Suffolk can be a strategic partner in helping your organisation navigate todayβs challenges and plan for the future.
